I am a dragon

"Teacher Jiang, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to."

Ning Meng was on the verge of tears, looking utterly pitiful.

Jiang Ruxue had a cold face, so of course I couldn't say anything.

Ning Meng wiped her eyes and said, "A year ago at the school party, I was pulled into working as a waitress in order to earn some extra money."

For some reason, after the party, President Lin suddenly approached me. I was very resistant at the time, really. I had someone I liked then, his name was Liu Chaoyang, whom Lu Feng had met.

Jiang Ruxue turned to look at me. I coughed and quickly asked Ning Meng, "And then?"

"President Lin invited me out several times after that, but I...I..." Ning Meng couldn't continue.

Jiang Ruxue said coldly, "So you gave in to Lin Fang later, right?"

Ning Meng actually nodded: "He arranged jobs for my two older sisters..."

I suddenly felt sorry for Ning Meng. Before, she was willing to be with Lin Fang for the sake of her two older sisters, and later she was forced to live with me for the sake of her younger brother's job.

Jiang Ruxue asked coldly, "Where exactly is Lin Fang?"

This is also what I care about most.

Ning Meng shook her head and said, "I really don't know, but I know that General Manager Lin's company has financial problems. In the past three months, he has borrowed a lot of money, saying that he wants to make some kind of investment, but I think he has been deceived."

She was just one of Lin Fang's women outside, and he didn't know much about her.

Ning Meng cried and begged Jiang Ruxue for forgiveness again. Jiang Ruxue's expression softened slightly, but she did not say anything.

I thought to myself, Lin Fang, you've really done something terrible.

On second thought, Su Kun's summary was spot on: all men are no good. I recently had a relationship with Xu Lanya and now I want Ning Meng to be my girlfriend.

Ning Meng was already physically weak, and after crying for a while, she went to her bedroom to sleep.

I didn't know whether I should go in or not. I suddenly needed to pee, so I went to the restroom. When I came out, Jiang Ruxue was gone, and I panicked.

I was surprised to see her on the balcony.

"Sister-in-law, try to look on the bright side. The most important thing now is to find your cousin."

Jiang Ruxue sat on a chair on the balcony, feeling sad and resentful. She picked up a bottle of beer and chugged it down.

I reached out to grab the beer, but unexpectedly grabbed Jiang Ruxue's hand instead; her hand was very cold.

Jiang Ruxue seemed to be talking to me, but also seemed to be talking to herself: "I am such a failure as a woman. I have been married for two or three years and I did not know how much money my husband owed outside, let alone that he was keeping a mistress. Now I don't know where he is, whether he is dead or alive."

I tried to comfort her, saying, "It's not your fault. My cousin and I have been friends since we were little, and we stayed at your house for three months. We didn't know anything about it."

Looking out at the night sky, Jiang Ruxue seemed to have made a decision: "I'm going to divorce Lin Fang!"

Divorce? We can't even find him, what's the point of talking about divorce?

"Stop drinking, go to sleep."

I felt inexplicably tired; society is far more complicated than prison.

Jiang Ruxue then turned to me: "You believe Ning Meng's words?"

I didn't know how to answer: "She has no reason to lie, does she?"

"I don't think things are that simple."

Ning Meng was the third party in the relationship, and Jiang Ruxue naturally had no good feelings towards Ning Meng. However, she had no other choice but to share a room with Ning Meng.

"Furthermore, Suya possesses an evil aura; she is probably not a good match for you."

Even in this state, Jiang Ruxue is still thinking of me. I was touched and said to myself with a self-deprecating smile, "Su Ya is President Su's younger sister, and she's young and just playful. How could she possibly be interested in me?"

Are you staying with Ning Meng tonight?

of course not!

"Ning Meng and I are impossible now. It was President Su who messed things up and paired us up," I said speechlessly.

Jiang Ruxue said in a deep voice, "Even if President Su wants to repay your life-saving grace, there is no need for her to force you and Ning Meng to get together. That's too strange."

I didn't dare to tell him what happened during the day, and only vaguely said, "Maybe President Su just acted impulsively. Who knows what these big bosses are thinking?"

"Alright, I'm fine now, go to sleep."

Jiang Ruxue stood up, and I followed her with a worried look on my face.

I really don't know what Lin Fang was thinking. With such a beautiful wife, why would he still go out and have affairs?

Their fate is now unknown.

The phone suddenly rang. My newly bought old-fashioned phone is amazing; it's so loud it could blow the roof off.

When I looked at the caller ID, I was immediately overwhelmed.

It was my second aunt who called.

I didn't answer; instead, I went to knock on Jiang Ruxue's door.

"Sister-in-law, my second aunt called. What should I say?"

Jiang Ruxue was silent for a moment, then said, "Let's not tell the truth so late at night, it might frighten the old man."

I took a deep breath, picked up my phone, and it had already rang for the second time.

"Hello, Auntie, is there something you need?"

I pretended to sound like I had just woken up.

My aunt kept nagging on the other end of the phone: "Xiaofeng, why did it take you so long to answer the phone? It's your cousin's. My right eye has been twitching these past few days. I've been calling him, but his phone is always off. I hope something's wrong."

You've been close to your cousin since you were little, so you can't keep anything from me about him.

"No, my cousin is in business, and he's been so busy lately that I haven't seen him at all."

I said ambiguously.

My second aunt said, "With you here, I feel at ease. How much money is too much? You're so busy all day that you probably don't even have time to eat. If you ask me, it would be better to go back to our small county town. The third son of our neighbor has already had his second child, but we still haven't seen your cousin..."

"Second Aunt, I'm getting a call, I'll hang up now."

I quickly hung up the phone, stopping my aunt's magical attack.

Looking at my phone, I breathed a sigh of relief, but became even more worried about Lin Fang.

Where did he go?

I've decided to go to the police station tomorrow to ask again.

After making my decision, I stood at the door of the second bedroom, took a deep breath, and pushed the door open to go in.

As soon as I entered, I saw Ning Meng standing by the bed, facing the door, changing her underwear behind her back.

My face flushed red instantly, and I quickly backed out.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

After a long pause, Ning Meng said through the door, "Come in."

I cautiously went in again, and this time I saw Ning Meng huddled under the covers. She said apologetically, "I'm sorry about earlier, I didn't mean to."

Ning Meng forced a smile at me: "It's not your fault, it's my fault."

I didn't say anything, and I didn't dare to look Ning Meng in the eye.

I found a blanket and prepared to go out.

Ning Meng asked, "Where are you going?"

"I...I'll sleep in the living room."

"……Thanks a lot."

Ning Meng didn't ask me to sleep in her room, which relieved me.

I turned off the lights and lay on the sofa, wide awake. Thinking about what had happened in the past few days, I suddenly felt a headache coming on.

I don't know when I fell asleep, but my dream was chaotic. I dreamt that a dog bit my lower back, and as soon as I kicked my leg, I heard a series of hurried footsteps.

I opened my eyes and saw Jiang Ruxue's back as she left the house!

My heart skipped a beat: What has happened now...?
